Just a quick suggestion, would it be possible to add an option that disables all of the 'are you sure' questions. The amount of time this program takes to do its thing, it's infuriating to come back to the computer to an 'are you sure?' question.
This program hangs a lot and I get why. It's using resources for a long time. So when I set a folder to move the duplicates to (heaven help you if you don't use the option to use the folder structure, a million popups to ask what you want to do with a file that has the same name, this should be handled to rename all files inside the program, not hand the process over to Windows) and it hangs, you can surely understand the frustration when I come back to the computer to expect the process to have been completed, to find that it hasn't even started, but has hung just before asking the dreaded 'are you sure'. YES I AM F*CKING SURE AS I'VE SPENT F*CKING HOURS BABYSITTING THIS PROGRAM ALREADY.
I never use any other option but select all but one and I rarely use the delete option and I'm sure that's the usage case for many other users. So, instead of waiting for the user to select all but one and the hang that *always happens*, why not specify a folder to move all but one of each duplicate to BEFORE the scan. That way, I tell it to scan AND move the files in ONE go. You could even had a shutdown/sleep/hibernate option so the computer isn't on for any longer than needed.

Re: Are you sure?!
We're working on improving the delete process for the next version. Especially focusing on suppressing any system messages (are you sure).
